  1000 Babies , streaming on Disney+ Hotstar and directed by Najeem Koya, starts with a unique and gripping premise, setting up a horrifying and terrifying atmosphere. Neena Gupta and Rahman shine in their roles, captivating the audience early on. However, after the third episode, the momentum dwindles as the show shifts focus, becoming too long and drawn out. While the mystery and central event remain intriguing, the attempt to tackle social issues dilutes its impact. Ultimately, it’s a partially gripping psychological thriller with a unique premise but inconsistent execution.   Director – Najeem Koya Release Date – October 2024 Streaming Partner – DisneyPlusHotstar #1000Babies #DisneyPlusHotstar #PsychologicalThriller #NajeemKoya #NeenaGupta #Rahman #MalayalamSeries #Mystery #Thriller #IntriguingPlot
